ANNUAL SURVEY - YOUR FEEDBACK MATTERS!
Please take a few minutes to complete our IUSD Annual Survey! This is the third year that every school in Irvine Unified will administer a climate survey. By making this an annual district-wide effort, we can begin to understand our most compelling needs and measure our growth over time.
Understanding our stakeholders perceptions regarding school climate and home- school-community relations is critical for guiding our continuous improvement efforts and focusing resources through our Local Control Accountability Plan (LCAP) to ensure that we serve our students, support our staff, and remain connected to our communities.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete our survey! We know that this is a busy time of year and we appreciate you dedicating your time to provide us candid and constructive feedback. The survey will be open from January 16, 2018--February 15, 2018. All responses to this survey are anonymous and will be kept strictly confidential.

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A STUDENT
Open House is February this year! Rather than waiting until the school year is over to share our year with you, we are offering you a look now at what your student does each day while there is still more to come! It is an exciting peek at not only what is finished, but what is in progress. Your student will be able to tour you around and show you what their day is like.
Mark your calendars for this exciting event! Open House is Thursday, February 8th.
